Re: [opensuse-testing] Weekly News for September 3

I've played with 12.1 since ms1, now on 5. Biggest show stopper for me
is the frequent crashes of KDE 4.7 plasma in varous setting including
reboot, shutdown, kontact. These have been reported as bugs from what I
can see on Bugzilla.

I'm not a programmer so I cannot help there. What else is needed?

Other major problem I've got is CaLc where the horizonal slider does not
work at all in 11.4 or 12.1.
LibreOffice 3.4.2 OOO340m1 (Build:1204)

This was downloaded from openSUSE repo so I'm not sure where to report
it. It worked 3.3 versions.

I was quite disappointed in the community participation in our Open
Bugs Day. I cannot believe that no one cares about the bugs! I guess
everyone wants someone else to do the work. I really thought this is
to be a community distribution.

Despite the low turnout and the resulting poor coverage of hardware
and software, we were able to clear some of the 11.4 bugs, and
demonstrate that others do not affect 12.1.

I certainly hope for more participation when we have the next open
Bugs Day that will have the goal of cleaning up 12.1 bugs before the
final release.

With the release of 12.1 MS5, I am now running the new code on 3 of
my 4 real machines that were running 11.4. So far, the only problem
has been with the plasmoid network manager for KDE. On all of those
machines, I have switched to NetworkManager-Gnome, also known as
nm-applet. It works OK, but will take a little fiddling before it
works seamlessly.

Our next IRC meeting will be at 17:00 UTC, September 12 on Channel
#opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network.
irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing. We will discuss our
experiences with MS5.
